About the Book



Stories help us visualize and digest complex ideas. They're both fun and useful. Why not use them to help us understand God? Each story is a gem, waiting to ignite the spirit and illuminate the path to a brighter tomorrow.



Book Synopsis



Are you searching for answers about life and the mysteries of God? Look no further. In "40", you'll journey through a series of intriguing stories that will challenge your thinking and ignite your imagination. Set in this messy and unpredictable world, the stories in this book follow the experiences of a diverse group of characters as they grapple with the meaning of life. From a story of an exposed red-carpet celebrity who flees Hollywood to rebuild her life to one of two close friends who struggle to say what needs to be said, each story will captivate you. But beneath the surface of these seemingly simple stories lies a more profound purpose waiting to be uncovered. As the pages turn, you'll find yourself drawn into the mystery and possibility that there is a greater plan at work.


If you enjoyed "The Chronicles of Narnia" or "The Shack," you won't want to miss this wonderfully eclectic and thought-provoking book.
